"Xav lost his memories once before. I'm guessing he hasn't fully recovered yet," Jeremiah said to Jeana as he stood at the top floor of Empire Club."He lost his memories?" She couldn't help feeling surprised. "No wonder he couldn't tell who I was again."Jeremiah suddenly changed the topic, asking, "Do you really want to marry him?"She said without any hesitation, "Yes. I've liked him since I was a little girl."Be it within the Lane family or in the outside world, Xavier had always been an amazing person. He was just unfortunate to have become blind. However, that was the reason why she thought she was worthy of him at that moment."In that case, you should grab the opportunity. If he loses his memories again…" Jeremiah stopped talking after that.Jeana understood what he meant, but she felt frustrated again. "I pretended to be in an accident just so I could stay in Tirion. I'm worried they still won't let me stay now.""It looks like you're not determined enough," Jeremiah m
Back at the hospital, Jeana fell into a deep thought after Jeremiah told him that she wasn't determined enough. After thinking about it for a long time, she finally had an idea. She limped her way out of the hospital and hailed a cab. She went straight to Lane Mansion.…When Yvette and Xavier returned to Dewberry Manor that afternoon, they saw Jeana was there as well. Since her legs were supposedly hurt, she was sitting down. Clifford was sitting next to her on the couch."You're back," said Clifford."Hi, Grandpa," Yvette politely greeted him.After he nodded, he went to the point right away. "Xav, Yvette, Jeana is my old friend's granddaughter, and that makes her your cousin. Her accident this time has something to do with you chasing her away too."He was saying that Jeana wouldn't have been in an accident if they hadn't chased her away. He continued, "I've made a decision on your behalf to let her stay. After she has recovered, she can help you look after the kids. She c
After Jeana got into an accident, Yvette had come to understand how determined the woman could be. Jeana could even give up on her own life to get what she wanted, and she wasn't as foolish as she seemed.Hearing that she could stay, Jeana finally stopped kneeling. "Thank you, Yvette and Xav! Once I'm fully recovered, I'll definitely take good care of you.""There's no need for that. Grandpa had a point. Since you're our relative, that makes you our guest," Yvette said calmly.Jeana pursed her lips. "You sure are great, Yvette. I used to think Daphne would be more benevolent than you if she were my cousin-in-law."She sure knew how to attack where it would hurt the most.Seeing that everything had been decided, Clifford didn't stay there any longer. After he met Noah when the latter came back, he returned to the mansion.Noah didn't like Clifford that much. He thought Clifford wasn't as great as Archibald. As he had expected, when he saw Jeana, he understood what was going on.
Yvette had no idea that Xavier was actually still jealous. She just said, "You should get your memory fixed first and stop losing them from time to time."She really couldn't handle it. After all, Xavier had been really frustrating in the past. He just answered with a hum.Labor Day was around the corner. When Yvette thought about returning to Lane Mansion again, she felt annoyed."Let's sleep now. I'm tired."However, Xavier didn't want to sleep at all. He held her in his arms and gently kissed her forehead."Go ahead and sleep. I'm not tired yet." His hoarse voice sounded irresistible.After being kissed on the forehead, Yvette opened her eyes and saw his face being closed to her. "Don't do this."She avoided him and pushed him away with her hand. However, he just grabbed her wrist and said softly, "Be good and listen to me."Yvette didn't know what was wrong with her—she couldn't resist his temptation that night. …When she woke up the next day, it was already 11:00 am, a
An hour later, Yvette and Jeana had gotten kidnapped, with both their eyes covered. When the two pieces of cloth were removed from their heads, Yvette realized they were held at an abandoned factory.Jeana was tied to a post, and she was anxiously struggling. "What's going on, Yvette?"An hour ago, a vehicle had stopped in front of them. Then, a few men had rushed out and forced them into the MPV. At that moment, Jeana still hadn't returned to her senses and was in a daze.Yvette frowned when she heard Jeana. "Shut up!"She thought it was obvious that someone had abducted them. She instinctively thought Zoey must have instigated Gemma to do it again. However, shortly after that, someone opened the doors. Then, a woman walked in with her loud high heels.When Yvette saw who it was, she was stunned. "Daphne?"Daphne slowly approached Yvette and bent down. "I bet you never expected this day to come, did you, Yvette?"Yvette had truly never seen it coming. However, she was curio
"Ahh! My leg! You're going to break it…" Jeana cried nonstop. Seeing how her pleading wasn't working on Daphne, she turned to Yvette. "Yvette, call the police now! Think of something to get me out of here!"Upon hearing Yvette's name, Daphne finally took her foot off and looked at Yvette again. "I almost forgot about you."Yvette glared at Jeana for a moment before saying to Daphne, "I still remember what you said to me before.""What is it?" Daphne was confused."You said that we had no conflicts between us other than the fight over Xavier. We were still friends back then, and we only became love rivals later on, didn't we?" said Yvette.Daphne remembered it. It was true that she had said that. However, she clenched her fists tightly."You're right. We didn't have any hatred between us back then. However, you've ruined my reputation, and I have to hide from society because of you. Now, I just want you to die!"Yvette remained calm. She knew she had to buy herself more time unti
Sunny told Xavier to meet him alone. Otherwise, he would kill Yvette and the two children in her belly.Mark couldn't help frowning. "Not only is this guy cunning, but he's a fool as well! How does he expect you to go and see him alone when you're blind?"Xavier clenched his fists tightly. Then, he received another message from Sunny, saying that there was a car downstairs to pick him up. He even said no one else was allowed to get in the car."Take me downstairs," Xavier said coldly."Mr. Lane, this is a trap. If you go there, he definitely won't let you go. Let's get someone to find Mrs. Lane in secret. At least we can save her that way," Mark explained.Although Xavier looked calm, he was already feeling anxious on the inside. Yvette had already become his weak spot. "I can't risk her life. Let's go."Mark knew there was no way he could change Xavier's mind after a decision was made. So, he had no choice but to take Xavier out.Before Xavier got into the vehicle, he said to M
"Oh?" Sunny raised his hand, and his men stopped what they were doing. "Why would she be useful to me? My family lost contact with the Lumbers a long time ago.""That's where you're wrong. She's Xavier's most beloved cousin. If Xavier isn't willing to save me later, you can still use her to control him," said Yvette.Sunny had never expected Xavier to be that flirtatious and even have a beloved cousin. So, he told his men to stop."It looks like Xavier's heart is as blind as his eyes now. Does he care that much about women now? If it had been before, he wouldn't have cared about relationships at all."At that moment, he received word about Xavier getting into the car he had arranged. After reading the message, he stopped talking.Yvette didn't think Xavier would actually come to save her. After all, when he'd gone to Dibay by himself in the past and gotten into trouble, she'd been the one who'd saved him. However, after he'd escaped, he'd even blamed her for what had happened.As
When Jeana found out, she clicked her tongue and said, "How shameless. She's already divorced from Xav and yet is still sleeping together."Yvette heard murmuring outside and got up to check it out. She saw Jeana and a few maids badmouthing her.She was speechless. What could Xavier possibly do to her in his current state?"You don't like me sleeping with Xavier. How about you take my place?" Yvette stood upstairs and spoke loudly.Upon hearing this, Jeana's expression shifted immediately.If she were to sleep next to Xavier, she definitely wouldn't live to see the sunrise tomorrow."I'm not like you. I'm not married to Xav yet, so nothing will happen between us," Jeana said with feigned innocence.Yvette laughed. "Then, after you marry him, would you dare to share a bed with him and have something happen?"Jeana was at a loss for words once again. She stopped talking, went back to her room, and slammed the door shut.She couldn't wait to hear Yvette's screams tonight.During
Kiki sat beside him and asked, "What exactly happened? Why was Mr. Shaw Senior so angry a couple of days ago, and what's going on with Xavier?""Just know that while I'm not a saint, I'm not a terribly wicked person either. But Jeremiah is a wolf in sheep's clothing, so make sure Yvette stays cautious," Tristan advised.Kiki rolled her eyes at him."As far as I know, Jeremiah has always been kind to Yvvy. When they were young, he often helped her and stood up for her when she was bullied. But you, when she just married Xavier, you were the one who bullied her the most!"Tristan was momentarily at a loss for words.That was because Kiki was right in pointing out that Tristan used to frequently bully Yvette.Yvette's hearing had worsened in both ears, and she currently relied on hearing aids until now.Tristan was filled with regret, and he understood that he could never make things right with Yvette. He had been researching ways to treat mild hearing loss but hadn't made much pro
Yvette shook her head and said, "Not yet. His condition is still very unstable. Once Dad's health improves, I'll take you and Zachary to see him."Noah nodded obediently and said, "Alright. Go ahead. Ms. Wendy and Lily are at home. I'll be good.""Okay."Yvette listened to what Noah said and felt genuinely gratified. She was really thankful to have two such thoughtful children at such a young age.After soothing Noah, Yvette had the driver drive to the manor.She had just arrived and saw the nurses and doctor forcibly administering an injection to Xavier."What kind of injection is this?" Yvette immediately stepped forward."It's a sedative," Nathaniel replied with a stern expression. "Mr. Lane lost control again earlier and started hitting people."Yvette frowned. "Didn't I tell you? If he has an episode, just call me, and I'll come over right away."Nathaniel feigned a helpless look at Yvette. "That won't do. When Mr. Lane gets violent, he doesn't hold back at all. If we don
Yvette immediately understood what Jacqueline meant. "Thank you so much. I'll cover all your losses personally.""You don't have to. Just continue working with me when you're in charge in the future."Jacqueline realized that Yvette was genuinely kind-hearted. In their collaboration, she found that she got a fair deal and even made more profit compared to working with others."Okay." Yvette didn't exchange any more pleasantries with her after that.Today's parent meeting had unexpectedly helped Yvette solve a big problem.She finally breathed a sigh of relief. She could now take a proper rest.First, she took care of Noah, and then she planned to go to the manor to visit Xavier.At home, Noah had already learned from Zachary's investigation that the manor was private property belonging to Jeremiah."Zac, I feel like it's not really a good thing for Mom, but if she wants to be with Jeremiah, I'll support her."Noah rested his head on his hand and said, "But Jeremiah is already
Anne, thinking about her child at home, said, "I need to go back and check on my kid too."As the three people got ready to leave, Elena hesitated and stayed behind.Once they left, a few of the other moms also decided to leave.The remaining people seemed to want to get on Marlene's good side.Marlene also knew of this and told them, "Zayden will be returning to the main headquarters of Titan Corporation very soon.""Really? To what position?" Mia asked.Marlene smiled and said, "It has to be a high-ranking position.""Congratulations are definitely in order. Once Mr. Zayden returns to work at the headquarters, could you possibly help make some introductions?" Mia tentatively suggested.Elena made a point to remember everything that happened here so she could tell Yvette all about it.Elena felt that even if Yvette and Xavier were divorced, Yvette's life wouldn't be any worse than Marlene'sShe was determined to become friends with Yvette again, and she believed she was maki
Upon learning of the situation, Jeremiah instructed Nathaniel to keep a close watch on Xavier's every move, especially when he was with Yvette.Nathaniel said, "Yvette also wants Mr. Xavier to be able to go out for walks."Jeremiah paused before replying, "As long as he doesn't leave the manor, he can go for a walk."Yvette could look at Xavier at any moment, and Jeremiah didn't want Yvette to have a negative impression of him."Understood."…As the end of the month approached at Titan Corporation, those with the lowest sales would be fired.Division Five had been performing well, but unfortunately, there were issues with the accounts. If the upper management or shareholders found out, it could become a significant problem.At that time, it was likely that Division Five, who were suspected of fraud, would be fired.Yvette had already arranged for someone to look into this matter, focusing on who has been in close contact with Marlene or Division One recently.However, there
Jeana stopped talking after that. If Shannon were to see hers hurting Xavier, not only would the idea of them getting married be out of the question, but she would definitely be kicked out.Yvette couldn't be bothered to continue the conversation and said, "In the future, be more careful. If it happens again, it won't just end with a slap."She returned to her room to continue resting.The next day, when morning came, Xavier was still asleep.The doctor came to give him a medical check-up.The doctor said, "Most of Mr. Lane's physical injuries have healed, but the brain damage is something that won't recover in this lifetime."Yvette listened with a worried expression on her face.Before, it was just that Xavier couldn't see. Now, he had turned into a fool.Although he was once a favored and exceptionally talented person, his current life of his was incredibly difficult.Nathaniel escorted the doctor out, leaving only Yvette and Xavier in the room. Yvette was about to go to w
Yvette quietly peeked through the crack in the door and saw that Xavier was still lying in bed. His eyes were still closed.He hadn't woken up at all. He must have been having a nightmare just now.Yvette finally felt relieved enough to go back in and tucked the covers back around him, teasing him as she did so, "Look at you in your current state, yet you've got beautiful women eager to marry you. You're really lucky."After finishing speaking, she thought it was getting late and decided to go back to her room to rest.Suddenly, Xavier's large hand grasped her wrist tightly.Yvette's pupils constricted. She thought Xavier had woken up, so she immediately called out to him. "Xavier..."Xavier, however, let go of her.Yvette's eyes were filled with disappointment as she gently placed his hand down."I'll see you again tomorrow."Yvette then went back to her room to sleep.In the early hours of the morning, the sky was exceptionally dark. Yvette was a light sleeper and had a vag
"It's so late. It can't be good, right?" Nathaniel said, standing in front of Yvette.Yvette asked, puzzled, "What's not good?""I'm just concerned about your safety," Nathaniel explained.Yvette stepped past him and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of myself."She quickly walked toward Xavier's room.Nathaniel assumed that Xavier would not wake up now, so he didn't stop her again.In the spacious bedroom, Xavier lay quietly on the bed with his eyes tightly shut. He didn't appear to be sleeping normally.Yvette closed the door before walking to his side."Xavier," she called out.The person on the bed showed no signs of movement.Yvette sat beside him on the bed and pulled the covers aside a little to look at him, only to discover that he was covered in injuries.It looked like he was hit with a stick, leaving bruises all over. It seemed really painful.Yvette looked around, found a medical kit, picked it up, and began to tend to his wounds.What she didn't know was that
